When quiet was again restored, Mr. Somer- ville said to them "I will, as I have promised, read you three pieces to-night, my dear children, one for each of you. And now Harry, " he said, "I have chosen for you the following little piece, not that I think you need reproving for harsh speaking, for I have noticed with pleasure, your kind and generous treatment of your little sisters at home, as well as your good be- haviour abroad, and I honour and esteem you for it, my son, and hope it will ever... be so with you throughout life. " His father then read to him the little poem that follows. THE OLD FARM GATE. 93 GENTLE WORDS. (ANONYMOUS. ) A young rose in summer time Is beautiful to me, And glorious the many stars That glimmer on the sea : But gentle words, and loving hearts, And hands to clasp my own, Are better than the fairest flowers Or stars that ever shone. The sun may warm the germ to life, The dew, the drooping flower, And eyes grow bright that watch the light- Of autumn's opening hour But words that breathe of tenderness, And smiles we know are true, Are warmer than the summer time, And brighter than the dew.
